Fees and Insurances:

Most insurance plans provide coverage for counseling services. Although we have therapists who are "in-network" with all major insurance companies (including Medicare) in this geographic area, not all therapists are on every panel.

If your insurance company is not listed, you can confirm our network participation by calling the phone # on the back of your insurance card or give us a call to ask our clerical staff.

The fee scale is available for our services on our "About Us" page. Remember, you will not normally pay these charges as listed unless you have no coverage and are considered "self pay". Our office staff will be happy to assist clients in addressing insurance or billing issues.
